Depends...some relief pitchers may only throw 1-2 pitches before they're pulled. If you are referring to a complete game by one pitcher with the fewest pitches, Charley "Red" Barrett played for the Boston Braves. Barrett was a career .500 pitcher during eleven seasons with the Reds, Braves, and Cardinals. It was on August 10th of that year, playing his former team, that Barrett made history. He threw not only the shortest night game in history at one hour and fifteen minutes, but also the complete game with the fewest pitches ever. Barrett needed only fifty-eight pitches to shutout the Reds 2-0 with only two hits and no walks.

The answer is Charley "Red" Barrett, who pitched for the Boston Braves in 1944 and threw just 58 pitches in a complete-game 2-hit shutout of the Cincinnati Reds. The Braves won the game, 2-0.

Pitchers have won games without throwing a pitch (pick-off). Although I couldn't find an example of this, I do remember this Yankee vs Dray game in which L. Vizcaino won the game and only threw 1 pitch.

Al Leiter once threw one pitch, got injured, and left the game. Neil Allen pitched the rest of the game, but (correctly) was not credited a complete game. Box: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/OAK/OAK198805310.shtml
If you're looking for a complete game, that's different. Records for those only go so far back, but either Maddux or Glavine had a 79-pitch CG about ten years ago.

I assume you mean in a full, 9-inning complete game, Red Barrett, 1944, 58 pitches in a complete game.
Amazing how easy answers are if you just type a few simple words into a search engine.

Yankees presently have Pat Vanditte, who's good now interior the minors and is an ambidextrous pitcher, with a particular glove he can positioned on on the two hand so he can pitch with the two lefty or righty.

Yesterday Jon Garland threw a complete game with only 79 pitches, but that's not the record.
